Jenny Braden has spent her married life with a miserable bastard for a husband. Jim felt Jenny’s opinions were of little importance, and ignored her warning that they were being watched. Thanks to a small band of Apaches, her tenure of abused wife has ended. Jenny’s finally responsibility to the brute she called husband is to play undertaker.

Miakoda is the daughter of a tribe leader. She is known to be a ruthless cold-hearted warrior. Some say she is a “two-spirit” or man-woman. Miakoda noticed Jenny from the start, and after the attack, she remains behind to keep an eye on the lush woman who has captured her attention.

Jenny awakens looking in the eyes of her savior: Miakoda. She quickly learns that while some rumors are obviously true, others are inconsequential. Jenny is surprised by the amount of affection, caring and gentleness the handsome woman is willing to dole out.

In the strong embrace of a woman, Jenny opens like a rare flower and blossoms in Apache Eyes. Yeva Wiest delivers a powerful story of love and acceptance. Miakoda knows her sexuality and is comfortable in her own skin. She is a woman capable of protecting what she considers hers. Jenny has had her spirit beaten and bruised, but Miakoda’s solace sooths the hurt and helps her move forward. While I’m not a true lesbian literature fan, I have a love for western themes. I have to admit I found Apache Eyes to be a well written story and a most impressive read.
